help reading cd

[Richard Fell]

With ubuntu 12.04, after placing a cd on which I have burned an iso 
image, I get a pop up windoww with the following message:"This link 
cannot be used, because its target "cdrom0" doesn't exist".
Perhaps not since I get:

rfell at rosewall:/dev$ ls -l | grep cdrom*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root           3 2012-05-21 15:25 cdrom -> sr0
crw-rw----  1 root cdrom    21,   2 2012-05-20 14:25 sg2
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom    11,   0 2012-05-21 15:25 sr0


Should not this sort of thing be taken care of automatically so inept 
users such as I  will be spared such penances as this?

Many thanks,
Dick Fell
